Definitions
- the present invention is related to the technology of environmental monitoring. More specifically, it is related to a device and a method for environmental monitoring and analyzing.
- the first type of environmental monitoring instruments is employed mainly in the research laboratories. They are of considerably large scale.
- the second type belongs to the portable survey type instruments and they are much more compact in size.
- each second type environmental monitoring instrument is equipped with a sensor for measuring a particular environmental parameter.
- the size of this type of instrument is therefore comparatively compact.
- the level of a single parameter is usually affected by the levels of the other parameters.
- To obtain the level of a particular environmental parameter with a single sensor is usually not an all-round method. The precision obtained would be low.
- to measure the concentration of the volatile organic compounds solely by the photo-ionization detection method may give an inaccurate result as the detection method is easily affected by the temperature and relative humidity of the environment.
- different types of sensors with different working principles give different outcomes when they are employed for monitoring the same environmental parameter. For these reasons, there are usually difficulties to standardize the detection methods for the environmental parameters. In order to ensure an adequate and a moderately accurate result can be obtained for a single parameter, several instruments are usually brought to site during measurement. The results obtained are then evaluated together during analysis. The measurement processes by multiple instruments are rather inconvenience.
- At least one advantage of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of current environmental monitoring devices and methods, It has the further advantage to provide a device and a method for environmental monitoring and analyzing. Different levels of the environmental parameters are detected and measured at the same time. They are then judged and analyzed systematically. A real time and comprehensive air quality report is generated. The construction of the device is simple. It is easy to be operated even by the non-technical users. The environmental parameters evaluated are highly accurate and precise.

- the device further comprising recommendations to address the potential problems.
- the predetermined standards and criteria includes a third judgment principle, the third judgment principle defining at least two categories for each environmental parameter, and air-quality-level judgment standards for air quality levels are defined based on the combination of different categories of the measured environmental parameters, and a message corresponding to air quality level by the air-quality-level judgment standards is provided.
- the environmental parameter is any one from the group consisting of: temperature, relative humidity, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, dust, ozone, carbon dioxide, air flow rate, radon, and formaldehyde.
- the control unit of the device comprises:
- the input circuit includes an analog to digital converter and a low pulse timer.
- the present invention also offers a method to monitor and analyze the environment, comprising:
- the predetermined standards and criteria of the mentioned method includes a first, second and third judgment principle
- the environmental parameter is any one from the group consisting of: temperature, relative humidity, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, dust, ozone, carbon dioxide, air flow rate, radon, and formaldehyde.
- the values of different environmental parameters are obtained by different sensors, Real-time analysis of the obtained values of the different environmental parameters is performed by considering the interrelationship of the obtained values of the different environmental parameters.
- a real-time air quality report comprising a user-friendly interpretation of the obtained values and recommendations in response to the obtained values that is easily understood by a non-technical user.
- the report includes the message corresponding to the potential problems based on the parameter ranges, the recommendations to address the potential problems and the message corresponding to the air quality level.
- the present invention would be able to provide an instant level assessment by means of forecasting, based on the (interrelationship/correlation) between different measured environmental parameters.
- the prerequisite conditions for growing and incubating the airborne bacteria are actually created. Based on the values of the temperature, relative humidity and level of respirable suspended particulates, the level of airborne bacteria can then be forecasted simultaneously.
- the concentration of the carbon dioxide is sustained at high level, poor ventilation or too many occupants are implied.
- a user-friendly interpretation of the obtained value of the environment would be generated.
- the user-friendly interpretation could be the messages of recommendations such as “turn on the air exhausting system”, “decrease the number of occupants”, “open the windows” etc.
